Quote related to 'Sheer Heart Attack' from 'News Of The World'

John keeps a very close eye on our business affairs. He knows everything that's going on and shouldn't be going on. If God forsakes us now the rest of the group won't do anything unless John says it's all right. Roger is very important to us in a different way. He's always been an out-and-out rock & roll fan with no time to stop and think about music and that's very good for us. Instinct. He's also the one who is most aware of facets in music, and that's essential in the band. If you listen to Sheer Heart Attack on the new album you'll see what we mean. It sounds like a punk, or new wave song, but it was written at the same time of the Sheer Heart Attack LP. He played it to us then but it wasn't quite finished and he didn't have time to complete it before we started recording. That was three years ago and now almost all these records you hear are like that period. He was into punk for a long time, but he's tired of it.

Freddie Mercury; Circus, January 1978
